When that stuffy, achy, wheezy, got-to-sleep-but-can't feeling hits, you
know it's the FLU. There are various kinds of flu viruses and they are
changing all the time. But whatever kind of flu bug you get, it could
trigger respiratory congestion, fever, chills, body aches, headaches,
and fatigue. You can get the flu in one of two ways. First, by touching a
person or object contaminated with the virus and then rubbing your
nose, your eyes or your mouth. Second, through the air. Because the flu
virus travels within droplets that are released when an infected person
talks, sneezes, or coughs, it is possible to inhale the virus. Once the
flu virus has entered your system, it can take up to 4 days before you
feel sick. Symptoms may then last up to 2 weeks. And it's the first 5 to
7 days that you're most contagious. The flu season peaks in January and
February, but you can get it all year round. How can you protect
yourself? The best way is the flu vaccine. Each year, the vaccine is
re-developed to fight off the 3 most common strains that season. Other
protective methods include regular hand washing with soap and hot water,
not touching your face, and staying away from those who are sick. If
you aren't lucky enough to dodge the flu this season, speed up your
recovery by getting plenty of rest and staying well hydrated. Your
doctor might also prescribe an antiviral medication that may cut a day
or two from your recovery time. These antivirals are especially
recommended for those with conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, and
heart disease that can be complicated by the flu.
